A new Explainer out from @aoifemod.bsky.social and me detailing the UK's ECHR commitments under the 1998 Agreement in response to recent speculation. It is short, because there is very little to say - the UK's obligations are evident on the B/GFA's plain text:

New tensions in Hungary’s judiciary 🇭🇺:

After intervening in the referral phase of Art. 267 TFEU, the Hungarian Supreme Court now seeks to influence how lower courts apply CJEU rulings.

ANNA MADARASI and TAMÁS KENDE on what's at stake.

verfassungsblog.de/hungary-prel...
Quote from the piece by authors Anna Madarasi and Tamás Kende: “At stake is not merely a technical matter of judicial interpretation, but rather the fulfillment of the principle of sincere cooperation enshrined in Article 4(3) TEU.”

There has been a lot of ink spilled about the substance of the Policy Exchange paper today. I just want to write a brief thread here on a point that I haven't seen mentioned today and what I think is likely to be a key target of the paper: the upcoming Supreme Court appeal in Dillon (UKSC/2025/0013)

Looking like Heather Humphreys is so popular with the Fine Gael parliamentary party that, if there were to be a full ballot, she would be unassailable - and that Sean Kelly may have a battle on his hands even to get the 20 signatures needed for a contest. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

This little parable is a nice illustration of why it is important for mainstream parties to set and uphold clear, bright line anti-prejudice norms, and of why the failure of senior Conservatives to do so risks doing great harm to their party
